' RECEPTACLE.

Application led September 11, 1926. Serial No. 134,897.

This invention relates to improvements in receptacles7 designed for the reception. of smokers waste, expectoration and the like.

It is one of the objects of the present in vention to provide a depository of the class described which will further cleanliness .and sanitation.

A further object of the invention is to provide a receptacle which will eliminate the unsanitary conditions incident to open receptacles for expectoration and will also eliminate odors issuing from the same due to the collection of smokers waste and refuse.`

A A further object of the invention is to pro.- vide a receptacle of the class described which is attractive and ornamental in appearance and so constructed and inscribed as to invite proper use of the same.

`A further object of the invention is to provide a receptacle combining a cuspidor and a smokers waste receiver and so constructed that the different receivers may be readily and quickly detached for emptying and cleaning. Y

A further object of the invention is to provide a receptacle of the class described which lis of very simple construction, is easily operated, is strong and durable, and is well .adapted for the purposes described.

With the above and other objects in view,

the invention consists of the improved receptacle, and its parts and combinations as set forth in the claims and all equivalents thereof.

In the accompanying drawing in which the same reference characters indicate the same parts in all of the views:

Fig. 1 is a side view of the improved receptacle; v d

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view thereof, taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 3;

Fig. 3 is a plan view, parts being broken away and shown in section; and

Fig. 4 is a rear view. p v

Referrin now more particularly to the drawings, 1t will appear that the numeral 8 indicates a fiat rectangular base plate, preferably formed of polished metal. A vertical partition or` support 9, which is` iian ed at its lower ed e portion, is screwed to t e base plate and t e upper end portion of the sup ort 9 is provided with a slot 10. c An auxi iary container member 11, preferably of polished metal and having an open upper` end, is stationed on the base plate 8 rearwardly of and adjacent the support 9. The rear face of the container 11, at its upper end portion, is provided with a hooking iange l2 to engage the slot 1() of the support 9 whereby the auxiliary container 11 is detachably secured to the ysupport 9.

Extending from the forward face of the support 9 is a bracket 13 to which a semicircular arm 14 is secured.4 Another complementary semi-circular arm 15 is hinged to the bracket 18, and is adaptedto overlap at its free end the free end ofthe fixed arm 14. I i

A cuspidor' member or main container 16 is stationed on the medial portion of the base yplate 8, said cuspidor preferably being formed of glass with Suitable instructive indicia thereon. rlhe neck portion ofthe cus pidor is embraced by the arms 14 and 15 to removably hold the cuspidor in position, the hinged arm 15 being locked in engaging position by means of a pin 17 projecting from the end portion kof the xed arm 14 and engaging an aperture in the hinged arm 15. 'lhus, when the arm 15 is pressed to disengage the pin from its aperture, and swung to the dotted line position-shown in Fig. 3, the cuspidor may be readily removed for cleaning purposes. y

rlhe top of the cuspidor member is normally closed by means of a lid 18 pivotally connectedr at its rear to a pair of bearing flanges 19 extending from the u per portion of the support 9. The lid 18 1s formed of a plurality ofl layers including a bottom layer 20 of circular form and constituting the entire bottom of the lid, said bottom layer 2O being preferably composed of celluloid. An explanatory or instructive word 21 is delineated on the forward half of the Celluloid. The lid member is divided` into halves by means of a tray 22 having a bottom portion 28 of non-iniammable material covering the rear half of the bottom layer 2() and protecting it againstburning. The bottom portion of the tray may have suitable is a curved and inclined plate or chute 28. Secured to the rear portion of the atray Svdgs CII is a spout or hood member 29 to direct material toward jthe opening 27 and to prevent it from falling in an unauthorized direction from the tray When the entire lid is pivoted, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. l.

The mechanism for pivoting the lid Aand tray includes a foot pedal 30 positioned at the side portion of the base `plate and inclined with relation thereto, the lower end portion of lthe pedal being vvhinged to the plate, as at 3l. Also, a spring-steel 4member 32 underlies Vthe pedal Vto yieldingly hold it in its up position. The top ofthe pedal may be covered with corrugated rubber 33 or other material to prevent slipping.

The foot pedal is connected With the lid lmember '18 to actuate it, by means of a vertical rod 3st slidably mounted medially in brackets 35 extending from the side of the vertical'support 9. The rlower end portion of the -rod 34 is bent right angularly and is secured in a bracket 36 at the free end portion of the pedal. The upper end portion of the rod 34; -is also bent angularly `and enters an elongated aperture 37 in the side `portion ofthe tray. Hence, when the foot pedal is pushed downwardly, lthe lid member will be pivoted -to open position lby means of motion transmitted through the rod .34. The spring 32 will automati ally return the pedal and vlid :to normal .position when pressure on the pedal is released.

It should also be observed that -the bear- 'ing members 19 are formed with rforwardly projecting arm portions 38 extending slightly above the plane of thetop of the cuspidor, and when `the lid is dropped to normal closing position, said arm port-ions Will serve t0 cushion the jar of the lid on Vthe cuspidor.

The vimproved receptacle is adapted to be .used Where cuspidors and ash receivers are now found, and Will eliminate the unsanitary and objectionable features of former devices for the same purposes. The lid .member 18 will always close the cuspidor member and keep flies and insects therefrom. It is proposed that ashes, Waste, and cigar and cigarette stubs be deposited in 'the vtray portion of the lid, the curved plate A28 assisting in guidingthe same into the tray When thrown. They will then remain on the tray until the flid is pivoted by means of the foot pedal, and when the lid is so pivoted, the refuse will vbe guided and dumped through the opening 27, by means of the hood 29, into the auxiliary container l1. The auxiliary container may, of course, be easily removed and emptied periodically. Vhen one desires to expectorate, the cuspidor member should be used for that purpose, and access thereto is gained by pressing the foot pedal to `raise the lid. rlhe contents of the cuspidor may be deodorized through the use of certain suitable chemicals contained therein. As previously explained,

the cuspidor may be readily detached for emptying -and cleaning.

From the foregoing description, it Will be seen that the improved receptacle will further sanitation and cleanliness, and is of `very simple and novel construction, and is Well adapted for the purposes set forth.
